What tho Workers IN .cicntidc Fields Have
Recently Discovered.
An interesting article in Popular Science
for July, by Dr. Joseph Sims, gives tte
following facts regarding human brain
weights: The average braia-aa,21t is
greater in cold than il warm cI.m.tes.
Men with lsrge hecds endure cold better
than those with small ones. The Lips
have the largest heads il Europe in p.o.
portion TO their stature; N5rweai-ns
next: then come STedes, Danes, CIR
mans, FrenCh and Italians. Toe average
size OF the brain differs at lfarert stsges
of life, the brain weighing heavier in
youth tnan in CID age Dr.. Peacock gives
the average weight OF I3I male brains
from twenty five TO if.y-tiye years CT sge
at &c ounces, . drains, DR.. Austin Flint
estimates it a. j02 ounces. Dr.. Thur
man finds the average European brain
to be 80 ounces, but this weight
is TOO small for the northern
countries, as IS shown by other au-
thorlties. 10 Italy, Spain, France and
Greece the average is less thar this, be
ing but 1876 ounces. The heaviest aver
age brains are those Of the Alpine p a.
teau of the Rhine, 81 - ounces. Fne tvi.
dence is that the brain weight decreases
as the intellectual power increases, and
the conclusion is that no parallel ex-
lists between power of mind and weight
Of brain. Many eminent scientists ex-
press their conviction of this fact The
brain attains Its full size a. the age Of 20,
after which period it gradually dimin-
ishes. Ii appears also thst tall men have
heavier brains than short men; and this
is considered another proof that quality
not quantity is the true measure OF men
al power. WOmen's b.elns weigh on an
average five ounces less than mems
bralus, but they are generally shorter in
stature, ana according toiyur authority
the lack Of weight proves nothing.

LEAvENwoRTH, KAN, July 29.-The
wrecking of the Citizens Savings Bauk
is Sill the topic CT conversation. All
night and the next day force Of CLERKS
was kept busy overhauling the books,an
last evening Vice President Mickle stated
that the asse amounted to S105, 900, with
So 600 liabilities. The assets include
the property CT the abscondiDg president,
Clement, which is estimated at So coo.
Mr.. MiCkle further stated that when Inc
stockholders paid the full amount CT
their stock subscribed for ne believed
that the depCsitors would be psid loo
cents en- the dollar. Chat is" con
tinued the vice president, ST Clement
mas not compromised US in some way
that we don't know CT now" He further
said that Clement had been an lnvet-
crate grain gambler and had used thou
sauds Of dollars that did not belong TO
him in that way. Clements brother in.
law, Chinery, to whom the former
conveyed his property, says that
he does not believe Clement took
9 dollar OF the banks money
with him, as he borrowed 500 of him the
day before his departure, out three days
before he left he invested 5000 of the
banks money in real estate speculation
in Wysndotte. A. B. SCISSOR, one OF the Ill
rectols, stated that Clements speculation
commenced from the time the MetropOli-
tan bank started, buts t was carried on SO
successfully that the government bank
Examiner failed to discover it and the in
stituticn's condition was reported as all
right. He further clsimed that the
Metropolitan Bank owed the Savings
Bank S48, 900, Which is not included in
the sbGve assets. 1t leaked out today
that the transfer of Clements property TO
his brother-ln law was made July and
that one or more Of the directors knew Of
it st the time, but said nothing until yes
terday. The general impression is that
the stockholders will make every dollar
